Question from ELT at Ancora (17:12, 22 March 2023)

Hello there! I have put in an edit request for the Miller-Motte College page, as I am unable to implement the changes do to my COI. I requested these changes on Feb. 8, 2023. I understand the backlog is very high. Is there a timeline on when those changes might be made? The information currently provided on the Miller-Motte College Wikipedia page is incorrect, out-of-date, and in some cases, not compliant with our accreditation and regulatory bodies, so it is also very important these changes be implemented. Thank you for any insight you can bring. -ELT at Ancora --ELT at Ancora (talk) 17:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

On the aforementioned talk page I used the Uw-delete1 template concerning William Russell. I just noticed that it accidentally listed your username as part of my warning after you added your warning (this is beginning to sound tautologous). I'm not sure how this happened or how to fix it, but do you have any ideas? Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her)My Talk Page 20:02, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Novo Tape! You need to subst warning templates in order for them to work; the "Hi, I'm _____" portion works by detecting the last editor of a page. Substing a template freezes its contents, so in normal usage, it would add your name correctly. To make warning easier, I'd personally reccomend Ultraviolet, or, to a lesser extent, Twinkle. Cheers, Frostly (talk) 20:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi @Sidharth SL, and welcome to Wikipedia! You might want to ask your question at the reference desk. While I’m not an expert in the field, I believe that weather is more short-term than climate. Best, Frostly (talk) 17:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

How do you deal with people who are openly biased and only accept sources from one side of the issue? --Yuahrong (talk) 14:45, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Yuahrong, and welcome to Wikipedia! It looks like you're involved in a content dispute regarding Battle of Bakhmut. You might find this page helpful on methods for resolution. In particular, the dispute resolution noticeboard might be an appropriate next venue for discussion. Best wishes, Frostly (talk) 05:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
No, I'm not involved in any dispute. This question is in regards to previous encounters on my old account (which i've lost the password to) where I have sufficient evidence that fits all of wiki's criteria but still people choose to engage in edit war/vandalism. It would be nice to know how to ensure my edit stays up, how to prevent it from being removed and how to report those people in simple terms. Thank you. Yuahrong Aiemryte 05:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
@Yuahrong, note that you need to disclose previous accounts you've used. Wikipedia is collaboratively maintained, and no one owns articles or the right to have their edit permanently displayed.

Question from Betarhobeta (18:05, 22 May 2023)

My page has been declined for lack of secondary sources. Like many other women artists, Ray did not receive full recognition during her life. Ray's work is significant, otherwise the premier literary research library (Huntington Library in San Marino) on the West coast would not have established an archive of her work.

Her work is now being recognized and has recently been added to the collections of UCSD Geisel Special collections, The Bancroft Library at UCBerkeley and the Huntington Library. Chapman University also holds 24 of her paintings. This is significant recognition from secondary sources.

My sources are proved by links to respected research library catalogs. I understand that this is different from published reviews. What can I do to receive further consideration? --Betarhobeta (talk) 18:05, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
